Children's Ministry

At Buffalo Free Children's, we continuously strive to provide a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn about who Jesus truly is. Each week, we learn a story from the Bible and then find practical ways to challenge and grow to be more like Jesus each day while building a lasting faith to withstand the years. We do this through engaging lesson times, activities, crafts, and worship.

If you would like more information on any of our Children's Ministry classes, programs, or events, please email our Children's Ministry Director, Kristen Ruopsa, at kristen@buffalofree.org.
